Well it sounds like you did enough collateral damage to be effective on the court, Inger. My mother was an outstanding basketball player. First-team all-state in an era when the girls' game was much different than it is today. Back then there wasn't much in the way of opportunities in college basketball for girls, so she was limited to college intramural or club play in college. It was embarrassing how my mother could stomp me and my friends in backyard games of horse. They laughed at her two-handed set shots until she would drill them from all over the court. And then make us a nice lunch afterward just to show off. Beaten by Mom at HORSE? Haha, that would be so embarrassing. Great story. |

Could this game be setting up for a dramatic home run for Jay Bruce in his last at bat?

Sitting across from John Wooden would be a lifetime highlight for anybody, Rizz. Maybe the greatest coach of any sport anywhere anytime. A great man. I heard he could be a bit wooden at times, though. Must have been the fame... |

After that we got used to it. |

Your mother sounds like a great sport. I know at one time the girls’ played a half court game. And, there were laces on the ball. It’s amazing how those long ago fundamentals stayed with those of that generation even later in life. |
